1 in 4.

1 in 4 women will experience a miscarriage. Maybe you’re the one or your sister or best friend is the one.

“No one wants to talk about it. And no one wants to hear about a baby who has died….I don’t know why we don’t talk about it more than we do, but we need to!” And so we did. We go there. You need to listen to this interview with Elizabeth Petrucelli.

Elizabeth shares with us her initial obstacles in getting pregnant, and the loss of her daughter at 8 weeks and 3 days pregnant. Her journey of healing led her to write her first book, All That is Seen and Unseen and to become Colorado’s first certified bereavement doula. You can hear in the audio, I really don’t know how to respond to Elizabeth’s intense story. I feel so lucky to have had the chance to talk and learn from her.

“Just like a family would hire a labor doula to assist them through a happy birth, a family can hire a bereavement doula to support them through miscarriage or stillbirth.”
